I am just running my mouth about tariffs Edward. You had a pretty off the hook reaction a while back and it made me want to see what your thinking process was.
IF I was in charge we would probably have a few tariff wars going on and some odd tax breaks or penalties to support some domestic industries and punish some foreign companies. Kind of like the way we have treated Cuban imports. It wouldn't be like a 100% tariff on Renaults or Hondas or whatever though. Probably a percentage point or two if their market was open to our product and their wages etc were the same or I liked them.
Do I think tariffs are bad? Its not that simple. I know they have worked recently in the far east and I know our founding fathers largely funded the country off them AND helped domestic industry. I also understand your jogging analogy for....what's a refrence.....Mr Goodson? Oh the Frenchman's name and story eludes me right now while on break on the cell.
